A newly identified, more lethal variant of H5N1 bird flu called D1.1 has emerged, causing at least two fatalities. Leading medical authority Dr. Peter McCullough has expressed serious concerns about this development.
“We could be on the cusp of outbreaks in man with severe disease and human-to-human transmission.”
Dr. McCullough emphasizes the growing threat of additional variants and increased human risk, stating:
“Given the widespread infections in mammals and migratory waterfowl across the United States, further viral adaptation via spontaneous mutation and reassortment is likely, increasing the risk of enhanced mammalian transmissibility and spillover into human populations. Mixing vessel species, such as pigs, could facilitate reassortment between H5N1 and other influenza viruses, potentially leading to the emergence of new strains.”
He further highlights the ineffectiveness of current government containment strategies and suggests that proposed mRNA vaccine solutions will likely prove unsuccessful.
Regarding flock culling, McCullough notes:
“Mass, healthy animal depopulation is not a sustainable solution either given the pervasive nature of the current H5N1 outbreak. Replacement flocks are likely to be reinfected by migratory waterfowl, perpetuating the cycle of transmission and viral adaptation without evolving herd immunity. Widespread culling of healthy poultry has severe downstream consequences, such as constrained egg-production and higher egg prices. Culling is dangerous to workers and is associated with chicken-to-human transmission.”
On human vaccine development, he states:
“Bird flu mRNA vaccines are a poorly conceived solution to this issue. This includes Moderna’s H5N1 mRNA, CEPI-funded H5N1 replicon (self-amplifying) shots, and Arcturus Therapeutics replicon ‘pandemic’ bird flu injections.”
Regarding animal vaccination efforts, McCullough cites:
“Likewise, mass animal vaccination is not a viable approach either, as indicated by a newly published study titled ‘Association of Poultry Vaccination with Interspecies Transmission and Molecular Evolution of H5 Subtype Avian Influenza Virus.’ The study highlights how extensive vaccination in poultry has been linked to increased viral evolution, adaptive fixation in the hemagglutinin (HA) gene, and potential antigenic drift, which can facilitate interspecies transmission rather than effectively controlling the spread of the virus.”
Instead of succumbing to fear, whether the threat is genuine or manufactured, experts recommend focusing on preparation and risk management rather than relying on rushed vaccine development.
